I have never purchased a new car. The SUV I just purchased was a 2004 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer with 94,000 mile garage kept. I paid $6,500 cash and if I get 3 to 4 years good use then I have done good. The SUV looks almost like new and drives like new. I can easily afford a new car but to me its such a waist of money I would rather save it for retirement or something else. Same deal with the boats I have owned. I don't knock people who buy new cars it just not my fancy.
